When they are abandoned on an island off of Isle Royale and left for dead, Angelique is forced to face her inner demons and remember the teachings of her grandmother in order to survive both physically and psychologically against the treacherous winter and her dire circumstances. Anishinaabe filmmaker Michelle Derosier will join the festival for this special presentation of her film.
